Margarita Granita
Recipe: Margarita Granita
Margarita Granita, a frozen creation, is a refreshing addition to any outdoor party. Here's a shortcut for when you're preparing a large batch for a crowd: Use a combination of fresh juice, grated lime ride, and bottled key lime juice (usually found on the juice aisle in your grocery store). The grated lime rind plus a squeeze or two of fresh citrus in each drink keeps the flavors fresh.

If it’s really hot outside, reach for the light refreshing white sangría. This simple variation substitutes Sauvignon Blanc or Chablis in place of red wine.

Looking for something different to serve? Try a new twist on this Cuban-inspired cocktail. Adding lemon-lime soft drink and mint (of course!) transforms this mojito recipe into a fizzy cocktail.
Sangría
Recipe: Sangría
Full-bodied red sangria is the perfect complement to the spicy flavors of Mexican food. It’s also less filling than frozen drink, so a good choice for hearty enchilada fare. When shopping for the red wine, we recommend choosing a Merlot.
Beer 'Garitas
Recipe: Beer 'Garitas
Mixing beer with a classic margarita recipe makes the drink taste less tart than regular margaritas. We can promise that these will be a hit, so make them by the pitcher to keep your party going.
